I still keep coming back to this video so many years later. You have done so much for the viability of the scratch built foamie aspect of the flying rc hobby. Rc test flight is what it is because of the work you've done. Amazing.

[@jonathanrigley981]

Same here... I used to watch this video when I was younger and I was in awe... Wonder what happened to Dave... His designs were top notch for scratch builds

[@baliblades]

@@jonathanrigley981 He has another channel that covers various topics in podcast type form. Nothing R/C though 😕

[@KurtBarcelona]

you know what, when I was 11 years old, I watch your videos. Now, I'm an engineer and I now understand what you're talking about. You kinda helped me back then choosing my career.

[@FarmerFpv]

We miss you, bro! I started scratch-building years ago because of you. It's too bad you don't still enjoy the hobby with us. Such a shame. Maybe one day you will come back with Alien technology.

[@Syrusoo]

Great job! You are bringing back into a hobby I gave up years ago.

[@RCSuperPowers]

Thanks for all the comments and ideas guys, I read them all! Hey I was thinking for guys with just a scratch built or store bought parkjet - you could put just ONE gyro on the pitch and this would allow you to move your CG farther back. Farther back CG is going to make better use of your flaps, way tighter loops, and more maneuverable all the way around and at the same time keep the plane under control for you especially with landing! - Dave Powers

[@marcocruz6859]

Wonder why this guy never try to make a kit to copy this particular model! in all & all, this is perhaps one of the mos iconic and best known videos that actually portrait his knowledge and engineering skills!

[@parkflyerindonesia8073]

This video was posted 7 years ago! And it's still amazing! Welldone Dave!

[@indonesiabermartabat]

it's 12 now

[@user-dl9oz8dp8u]

Все очень классно .Самому захотелось по пилотировать эти модели и вспомнить молодость.

[@Reilordi88]

Coming from an aerospace engineer currently working on Bombarbier C series, good work. Maybe just the dorsal fins being a little too long when they could take less weight and space with pointy ends and still achieve the same effect. Could you tell me the total power your motors can achieve please? You definitely achieved an impressive weight / power ratio. Remember tho, plane landings are ridiculously simple, try to almost equalize the weight falling with your portability and leave the thrust forward be transfered in heat and friction from the plane to your landing gear. I see you slow your RC when all you need is to make him lift 99% of his weight right before he touches the ground, all the forward speed will be lost in friction and heat.

[@kenchen704]

reilordi bob a typical 3S PU spinning a 6x4 prop produces about 1.3 kg of thrust, he has two so that makes it 2.6 kg

[@vk2afl]

Your girlfriend is so cool! You are so lucky. My wife would be so "meh whatever"! :)

[@Drutten35]

Exactly... she go like "Nerds Grow up"

[@stevies5]

What a great vid, black and white regards the Gyro. I'm loving your co-pilot's input too, she adds a great dimension to the tube.

[@kanga1234567]

This guy is the love child of the professor from 'Back to the Future" ....good work champ!

[@jschwind435]

What's the word of the day? Canards!

[@Oshbotscom]

Damn, I thought it was gyro. :P

[@lucius215]

lol, i like my canards with sauce à l'orange.

[@hateconfusionandthreat2702]

and i thought it's delta wing. ;)

[@RoyceLerwick]

You engineering critcs are missing the point. The control software and associated data can be applied to any aircraft and is likely to be worth far more than the ultimate foam mockup it's now flying on.

[@hopper1419]

The software he wrote and the general data on what he is doing has pretty well been covered many times over years ago. The f111, YF22, FA35 and B2 all use similar types of ideas and software he has done. But he did a great job. I know how he feels building something from your ideas that works. It even used to make me a living. He has great things ahead of him.

[@RoyceLerwick]

But not by him. He's doing it himself. Some people like to do things from scratch, that's how decades of failed convention get exposed, and "set science" is debunked.

[@RoyceLerwick]

It also makes him a proprietary virgin for purposes of copyrighting intellectual property.

[@SeiverD]

f'n amazing.. u brought a pos foam board to a completely asthetic amusing plane that can do what hardly anything else can do. ive seen a lot of rc planes, and none have attracted me like this. especially seeing you start from scratch, and build it into a masterpiece.

[@pilotavery]

That's one of the best scratch builds I have ever seen. I saw a jet like that once, but it also had ducted fan powered twin engines, with 2 rotating ducted fan exhausts. The whole rear thrust would turn! You should try that!

[@jimwilliams1536]

And no military black budget in sight.. Makes you wonder what they spend it on when a guy with a hobby can reproduce tricky avionics. Also most times they design the aircraft around the powerplant just the same way. Awesome.

[@maximejeanneret5886]

nice video and congrats and stuff.... BUT this isn't a jet. I clicked on the video because it said RC JET. Which it isn't. Which sucks. That's all.

[@sr71afan]

Awesome, as always, Dave! Glad to see you having fun!

[@TactiColt]

An RC plane that can transition in and out of a Cobra maneuver... beautiful work.

[@patmatuska6959]

How's that ego doing??

[@shenghu3532]

it is not JET!

[@leifvejby8023]

+Sheng Hu Seems quite a lot like a propellor foamie to me too.

[@tommitchell7257]

Its a jet body... Quite being the "Literal" cop... Like to see you do that... Cause you sound like a hater.

[@joninva1]

This is awesome. I wish I could build one just like it. Great job.

[@bardsta2007]

Awesome video, and a great plane too.

[@jolllyroger3728]

IF YOU LEARN to FLY you would not need gyros i learned to fly helicopter with no gyro on futaba 4 Channel radio no mixes no exponential no rates no end point adjustments no centering.... no nothing just 4 channels with trim today no one knows how to set up an airplane or heli properly they just do everything in the radio and few can really fly the computers do it for them

[@jdj62464]

my hero

[@jolllyroger3728]

ain't I but then so many real pilots did the same

[@jdj62464]

jolllyroger again my hero, wanna be just like you when i grow up

[@s.m.shawon9931]

My hero

[@leifvejby8023]

+jolllyroger Me to! We all did that in the old days, when we had to actually practice to be able to fly RC!

[@vandigital1]

I'm so impressed ! great stuff !

[@arthurneddysmith]

Great work on the project!

[@kuneho88888]

great flying sir and great stuff

[@pauls5745]

amazing and fun! nice concept, hope to see next version dialed in!

[@olemann77]

thats a great piece of work, mr.

[@WooLearnedU2Spoke]

Brilliant design. Flawless execution.

[@DaItalianstalian]

you just keep coming up with better & better ideas every year!!!

[@mikeallensonntag]

That is some amazing work you did on that plane.

[@HJB._]

Really impressive, man. U have my full respect.

[@adrianbrown89]

you blow me away dude, this is truly an epic effort.

[@WolfTau]

Wow. Very cool and nice work!

[@zx750e1turbo]

Excellent presentation, Brilliant engineering!

[@juliannevillecorrea]

i am amazed at how much work and dedication u need ... hats off !

[@snmart2]

Great inventive and good flying skills too. Congrats!

[@greedkiller]

Dude, you must be the grandson of Gary Powers. On the other hand, if Gary Powers had a plane designed the way you build your models, he'd never got shot down over Russia in the first place. Awesome stuff.

[@death2allah]

Wow, thats just incredible!

[@HJB._]

really impressive, man. U have my full respect.

[@downforce1000]

That is some great work. Truly impressive with the gyro in this application

[@punchritch]

Thats so awsome, great job!!!

really sick dude!Good job!!

[@ericsteinert4953]

that is an amazing model. talk about putting education to good use. looks like a blast to fly and maneuver

[@georux1]

Great vid!! Very informative and intertaning. As a pilot and RC rookie, i'll be looking for more.

[@MustafaTULU32]

I enjoyed your video, thanks.

[@kbrew2001]

Very, Very good job young man. I enjoyed the show.

[@solarsynapse]

"It's wiglin!" Very nice work!

[@yamaha4759]

most awesome flying i ever watched... awesome video.... more power...

[@cezar1radu]

Good job! well done!

[@ChromeVeins]

That's a nicely crafted machine you got there, that's really awesome man.

[@Trades46]

I love how you noticed that super-high AOA designed into the Su-27 family which gives it such maneuverability. Great design and tuning; almost performs like the real thing.

[@jboosa]

Great stuff. When this get's to production I want one. I hope a kit is in the future!!! Thanks

[@robajohnson]

Nice work!

[@theussmirage]

Your airplane is EPIC! and you are a genius

[@FunnyHacks]

After all this time, this still remains my favourite video of yours. Love your stuff. :D

[@gimmietheprize]

You know so much about this stuff! Very interesting. I'm still zipping my Nine Eagle Sky Eagle about!

[@Lion2232]

WOW MAN! THATS AWESOME!!!

[@jeffm4153]

Very very very nice work! Love the support from camera-woman :)

[@MclF01]

i loved the old rc powers where ya gone this was the best plane u made
